Second-up after a 1200m debut at Ankara 21 days ago, finishing 5th of 8 under 57kg on Good ground behind Ken Parker. Moves out 200m in trip and draws barrier 5 (from 6), with the same rider engaged. Natural improvement second-up and a softer gate can see a step forward.

Second-up after an Ankara 1200m debut 21 days ago when 7th of 8 on Good going under 57kg. Draws the inside gate this time and steps to 1400m, which could help build on that experience. A cleaner jump from barrier 1 gives scope to improve.

First-up after 87 days with prep_stage noted as first_up, returning at 57kg and stretching 300m from a debut 1100m run at Ankara. That initial outing came from barrier 6 on soft going with this jockey/trainer combination, offering a baseline without a placing. Likely to take benefit from the break and the extra trip.

Second-up after a debut at Ankara over 1300m in a 2Y COND1 where he drew barrier 8 and finished 9th of 10 on Good going at 57kg behind Royal Dynasty. Drops 100m and comes up with barrier 3, which should afford a more economical run. With that experience and a better gate, improvement is possible.

Promising on debut at Ankara over 1200m, finishing 2nd of 8 under 57kg behind Blessed Storm, and returns second-up after 21 days. Steps to 1400m and draws barrier 7 (up from 4) with H. Karataş staying aboard, and holds solid stats at the track and under this rider. Genuine chance to build on that opening effort.

Found the frame two runs back at Sanliurfa over 1200m when 3rd of 10 from barrier 9, and was 4th at 1100m earlier in the prep. Comes here 20 days between runs with a 2kg drop to 55kg and a slightly better draw than last start. With a 200m distance rise and a barrier profile that includes a placing from gates 7-10, she has a workable setup to be competitive.

Runner-up over 1400m at Ankara two starts back in a 2Y MDN (55kg) behind Yuriboyka, and reunites with Müs.çelik from a favourable barrier 4. Fourth-up today with solid 1400m/Ankara stats and carries 55kg after a lighter assignment last time; measured claims if reproducing that Ankara effort.
